"The European economy is currently at a pivotal point. While we're seeing robust growth in certain sectors, particularly technology and renewable energy, persistent inflation and geopolitical tensions continue to pose significant risks. The ECB's policy normalization path will need to carefully balance these competing forces."
"I believe the next 18 months will be characterized by moderate but stable growth across the Eurozone, with a gradual convergence in economic performance between member states. The digital transformation of traditional industries will be a key driver of productivity gains."

"Labor markets across Europe have shown remarkable resilience, but we're now starting to see signs of cooling in some regions. The interplay between wage growth and productivity will be crucial for inflation dynamics going forward."
"The energy transition presents both challenges and opportunities for European competitiveness. While the initial investment costs are substantial, countries that take the lead in green technologies are likely to gain significant economic advantages in the medium term. We're particularly optimistic about the innovation potential in Northern and Central European manufacturing hubs."
